“The next time you see a liberal reporter complaining about border patrol returning fire on some poor, poor illegal immigrant throwing little pebbles at them, understand, that’s not what they’re throwing,” he said, holding up a pebble.

“They’re throwing this,” he said, holding up a rock almost twice as big as his fist. “And if you don’t think this is a lethal weapon, you obviously haven’t read the Bible very much.”

Higgins was elected to Congress in 2016 and is known as the “Cajun John Wayne.” He is a current member of the bipartisan anti-terrorism task force that toured the border with members of the House Homeland Security Committee.

“The threats to America are menacing and real,” Higgins said in a news release. “Law enforcement officers in border communities are waging a fierce battle to secure our border and enforce the law.”

Higgins is right. Liberals always like to attack our border agents, calling them violent, but they have no idea the type of danger that these brave agents are forced to endure day in and day out.
